A Linux kernel panic in a bus. (Image flipped because the screen is mounted upside down.)

I’m amazed it actually uses Linux. Stuff like this usually has a full blown installation of some outdated version of windows just to run a slideshow or something. I guess manufacturers are finally learning it’s cheaper and safer to just throw on a Linux build.

I've only ever seen Linux based info screens in the last 20 years

It would be interesting which city and which bus brand 🙂

Could not find cpu?!

So who's printing to the screen?

(I'm guessing it's an "error at line 0" type thing relating to the whole device tree)
